Three Echo liquid handler models serve a wide range of assay and throughput needs. All offer superior accuracy (90+%) and precision (<8% CV) for a wide range of compatible fluids, and all are shipped pre-calibrated based on your liquid transfer requirements. The Echo 555 is the fastest instrument, the Echo 550 is an intermediate instrument for extremely fast assay and microplate setup times, and the Echo 520 is an entry-level model suitable for lower throughput operations. Relative throughput is compared below. Contact us for specific throughput estimates for your applications of interest.
